Things Best Left In The Past

It's a bit of a double-edged sword, I know. I want characters on The Bold & the Beautiful to mention Hope's harrowing ordeal of being trapped in a gondola and having to watch her ex-boyfriend marry her half-sister on top of a mountain in Aspen. I want them to mention it as much as possible. In fact, the more hysterically overwrought any sentence that includes the word "gondola" is, the happier I am. (Today, Brooke's "If Hope hadn't been stuck in a gondola like a caged animal...!" made me simply gleeful.)

But there's a tiny little problem with recalling the incident. Sometimes, you see, sometimes flashbacks happen. And with flashbacks? We're exposed to....this.

And the gondola cap??!!! That moment simply MUST be recorded on SDrama! Steffy's wedding dress *PUKE* I don't even think that Brooke ever wore anything remotely as vile to any of her many weddings. Thanks for covering B&B, Louise <3

I said it before and I'll say it again: Steffy looked like Batshit in a Tutu. Can you believe someone actually got paid real money to come up with that ensemble? Any 3 yr. old girl(or boy) could've come up with a better wedding outfit for her.

I only turn on B&B once in a blue moon, largely because of your posts, Louise, and because of the thought that I may eventually be driven to CBS when all of ABC's soaps are cancelled. So I happened to turn on this particular episode of B&B . . . and giggled all the way through. The fact that NO ONE on the entire episode said anything other than repeatedly recapping Hope's attempt to stop the great mountain nuptials was weird enough, and then I got a load of Steffy in that dress. This is still supposed to be a show about FASHION designers, right? That dress looked like something made out of cheap polyester remnants found in a dumpster behind Kmart and stuck together with a hot glue gun.

I know Steffy and Hope aren't blood-related and that Ridge isn't Hope's biological father, but she and Steffy both call him "Dad." The show seems to imply that Ridge adopted Hope, but regardless, they share a father even though they don't act like it, so I have to consider them half-sisters.

Well, the Brady Bunch were all adopted by their new stepparents and they didn't consider their brothers/sisters step or half on that show, but full, despite the lack of any blood relation. I admit I don't know how it's defined in cases of adoption - interesting question that I am now going to look up!
